Cody Barrasse autopsy results pending

PITTSBURGH - The cause of death for Moosic resident Cody Barrasse is still pending, according to the Allegheny County medical examiner's office.

There are still a number of tests that need to be completed, including a routine toxicology test, to determine the official cause of death, supervisor Martin Coyne said.

Early Sunday, Mr. Barrasse, 22, died in Pittsburgh after a motor vehicle hit him. Reports from Mr. Barrasse's friends and the driver of the vehicle that struck him differ. Friends say the driver, whose name police refuse to release, struck him on purpose, while the driver maintains it was an accident. Police are still investigating.

Mr. Barrasse is the son of Lackawanna County Judge Michael Barrasse and Dr. Linda D'Andrea Barrasse.
